[ale] Forbes trashes Micro$soft

[James Sumners]

The language he used is completely appropriate and the whole video
accurately describes the problem. I've spent 25 minutes with Windows 8
and _zero_ desire to do so again. I recorded those 25 minutes. A
perfect example of the failure that is Windows 8 starts about about 22
minutes into my video [1]. I try to change my profile settings and
then leave the settings dialog. Hilarity (frustration) ensues.

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
